About
Lumen Tool is a free, browser-based portrait lighting simulator that lets photographers experiment with light position, angle, distance, softness, and color before an actual shoot. It provides real-time analysis metrics such as key-to-fill ratio, lighting pattern, color temperature difference, and contrast levels. The tool is designed primarily for desktop use and is currently in beta.
Problem
Photographers need a way to plan and test portrait lighting setups without the time and cost of a physical shoot.
For
photographers and photography students
How it works
Users adjust virtual light parameters (position, angle, distance, softness, color) in a browser-based simulator and receive instant feedback on lighting metrics like key-fill ratio and contrast.
